FAQs
What occasions is this tie suitable for?
This tie is ideal for formal events, weddings, business meetings, and any occasion where a sophisticated and polished look is desired.
What is the material of the tie?
The tie is made from 100% high-quality silk.
How should I clean this tie?
The tie must be dry cleaned only. Do not attempt to wash it with water or in a machine.
What are the dimensions of the tie?
The tie measures approximately 146 cm in length and 7.5 cm in width at its widest point.
Can I iron this tie if it gets wrinkled?
It is not recommended to iron silk ties at home, as high heat can damage the fabric. Professional dry cleaning is the safest option for removing wrinkles.
What does 'jacquard monogram' mean?
Jacquard refers to a weaving technique that creates a pattern directly into the fabric. In this case, it means the iconic eagle motif is woven into the silk, creating a textured, integrated design rather than being printed on.
Is this tie suitable for everyday business wear?
While it can certainly be worn for business, its luxurious silk and distinctive monogram make it particularly well-suited for more formal business settings or special occasions. For daily wear, consider its susceptibility to wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Tie knot does not look neat
Practice tying the knot, ensuring even tension and adjustment. Different knots suit different collar types.
Visible creases on the tie
Try hanging the tie overnight; gravity may help reduce minor creases. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning is recommended as ironing silk can be risky.
Dulling of the silk's sheen
This can be due to improper cleaning or storage. Ensure dry cleaning is performed by a reputable specialist and store the tie away from direct light.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Crafted from premium 100% silk.
- Features a distinctive and sophisticated jacquard eagle monogram.
- Elegant blue color suitable for formal and business occasions.
- Made in Italy, signifying high-quality construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a self-tie necktie, there is no 'setup' in the electronic sense. It requires the wearer to know how to tie a traditional necktie knot (e.g., a Four-in-Hand or Windsor knot).
Compatibility: This tie is designed to be compatible with a wide range of formal wear, including suits, tuxedos, and blazers. It pairs well with solid-colored dress shirts and can complement subtly patterned shirts. Ensure the tie width is proportional to your suit jacket's lapel width for a balanced look.
Care Instructions:
- Dry Clean Only: To maintain the integrity and sheen of the 100% silk, professional dry cleaning is the only recommended method.
- Storage: Store the tie flat or loosely rolled to prevent creases. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
- Handling: Handle with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt. Be mindful of potential water spots, as they can be difficult to remove from silk.
